Minnesota Timberwolves - Portland Trail Blazers

Tragically, Dallas played their first game poorly, but even while looking bad at one point, they had a chance to come back in the game. However, both against the Clippers and Oklahoma, Dallas struggled in the first series games and responded strongly in the following series games. I hope that here too, they will find a way to stay in the game.

Dallas must keep Peru in mind when thinking about the title. Throughout history, out of 5 times in the 0:2 Finals, only 5 rings were won. In the previous game, everything was essentially decided in the second period when Porzingis was substituted. Today, a much better plan should be prepared to prevent a repeat of that and I am expecting a more intense battle, with a chance to potentially take it with such odds.

Luka only received 5 fouls in the previous game, but tonight I am expecting a more sharp and aggressive performance from him. These are also very important games, so he should play for 40+ minutes if his health allows and easily avoid getting 8 fouls.

Evil game, everyone was missing, It was a tragically lively game, Luka also threw poorly, even though he had good statistics, but the Latvian overperformed for the Celtics, KP won't be able to perform such a masterclass, the Boston team's game is naive. They are dependent on 3PT, which killed them last year when they didn't fall and got it, without changing tactics. When Kyrie and Luka wake up, I think the Mavs will look completely different, because in Game 1 they were very confused and could either tie the series or lose with one shot.
